| 2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.
2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year. 2026-03-16: Special thanks to Don Barber for hosting a backup mirror of CoCopedia: https://cocopedia.dgb3.net |
More Memory for Basic
Rainbow V01N02 Pag. 4
Normally ECB reserves 4 pages for graphics, for a total of 22824 Basic memory, If your program does not need graphics, you should be able to use PCLEAR 0, but this command fails due to an error in the ECB, to solve this we use POKE 25,6: NEW
With PCLEAR 1 the total is 27432 and With POKE 25,6:NEW (PCLEAR 0) the total memory is 31016
PRINT MEM<RETURN> ==> 22824
PCLEAR 1:PRINT MEM<RETURN> ==> 27432
POKE 25,6:NEW ' (PCLEAR 0)
PRINT MEM<RETURN> ==> 31016
You have to plan in advance. The Poke doesn't work if you leave off the :NEW, and, if you have a program resident in memory, the NEW will wipe.
One way to avoid this problem if you did not plan ahead would be to CSAVE the program, reset the memory and then CLOAD the Program back in.
